“Volvo Trucks North America changed the game not only with the all-new Volvo VNR and all-new Volvo VNL, but also with the launch of the state-of-the-art Volvo Configurator tool, an interactive online platform that empowers customers to build their ideal truck utilizing Volvo’s industry-first packaging offering,” said Volvo. “This innovative tool is designed to streamline the spec’ing process for both customers and dealers, making it easier than ever to customize and visualize different trim levels and cab options. Comprehensive packaging selections include interior and exterior trim levels, safety, powertrain, technology and amenities. Certified Volvo dealers will leverage the Connected Vehicle Analytics tool to help customers select the optimal powertrain package, enhancing fuel efficiency and operational performance.”
The industry-first packaging approach provides unprecedented value by simplifying the configuration and ordering process, ensuring that each truck is tailored to meet the unique needs of its operator. Volvo Trucks dealers work in a consultative approach, carefully crafting packages with complementary features to enhance driver and operational efficiency, according to Volvo.
Subject matter experts also will be available at TMC to guide visitors through the configurator tool as well as the Volvo Connect portal, demonstrating how these tools can assist fleet managers in making informed decisions aligned with their specific requirements and operational goals.
